WikiProject COVID-19 consensus

WikiProject COVID-19 aims to add to and build consensus for pages relating to COVID-19. They have so far discussed items listed below. Please discuss proposed improvements to them at the project talk page.

General

Superseded by TfD October 2020 and later practice - consult regular {{Current}} guidance.

Refrain from using Worldometer (worldometers.info) as a source due to common errors being observed as noted on the Case Count Task Force common errors page. (April 2020, April 2020)

For infoboxes on the main articles of countries, use Wuhan, Hubei, China for the origin parameter. (March 2020)

"Social distancing" is generally preferred over "physical distancing". (April 2020, May 2020)

Page title

COVID-19 (full caps) is preferable in the body of all articles, and in the title of all articles/category pages/etc.(RM April 2020, including the main article itself, RM March 2021).

SARS-CoV-2 (exact capitalisation and punctuation) is the common name of the virus and should be used for the main article's title, as well as in the body of all articles, and in the title of all other articles/category pages/etc. (June 2022, overturning April 2020)

Map

There is no consensus about which color schemes to use, but they should be consistent within articles as much as possible. There is agreement that there should be six levels of shading, plus gray for areas with no instances or no data. (May 2020)

There is no consensus about whether the legend, the date, and other elements should appear in the map image itself. (May 2020)

For map legends, ranges should use fixed round numbers (as opposed to updating dynamically). There is no consensus on what base population to use for per capita maps. (May 2020)

Fixed references

It turned out that like Visual Editor shuffled the citations in the move. I restored the original text using the source version, and restored a few major intervening edits. I think a bot should restore the broken citations. John P. Sadowski (NIOSH) (talk) 20:12, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There are a bunch of broken refs in the COVID-19 vaccine article in sections excerpted from this page. --Whywhenwhohow (talk) 03:26, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN BIOTECHNOLOGY WIKIPROJECT

Hello, my name is Özüm Kılıç. I'm a Molecular Biology master student and editing the page was given to me as an assignment for Recent Developments in Biotechnology (MLC501) in Üsküdar University.

Vaccine definition bias

This definition and description is clearly driven by a political bias. The only mention of Warp Speed was a negative comment regarding safety. GET REAL. I have donated to this site and I expect REAL information not bias. 2600:1700:E730:3470:B53E:A7C8:14A0:6BE3 (talk) 23:34, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
